I doubt from all our visits that we have seen more than ten leopards. Not 100% sure how many we have seen, but the Impala sightings were many more, but we have seen for the very first time last year after many visits in May a leopard in tree about five km’s from the Berg-en-Dal turnoff towards Malelane gate. The leopard was so beautiful.

I have no idea how many leopards I have seen over the past 50 years. But I do remember a few years ago I had 27 sightings in 9 days in the Kalagadi. Some of the sightings lasting over 2 hours. All the viewings took place in the Ayob river bed from TR to Mata Mata. One sighting was a mother and two teenagers playing and hunting on the 14th waterhole loop for nearly 3 hours. The last time I was in Kruger I had 6 sightings of leopard - three with kills. All were in the Skukuza area over a period of 7 days. Paul Kruger Gate road, S1, S65, S83, H4-1 (x2). Over the years I have seen quite a number of leopard on the S65 - with and without kills. It has also been a good road for wild dogs, lion, and cheetah.

During out first trip to Kruger Oct. 2009, we were privileged to see 11 beautiful leopards! Hopefully, will be as lucky this Nov.! May try to post some of our images of them, even the photos are nearly 4 yrs old!Jay Bird
